Manage pocket money
Every shilling they earn lands on one card, so nobody has to remember who paid what on Saturday.
The balance moves the moment you approve a task. No cash, no counting, no arguments.
New
Tithing and donations
Kids ask for money. What if they earned it instead?
They do chores, save coins and pick their own reward — a zoo trip, a new book, a Saturday at the beach. You just approve from your phone.

Assign chores
Set the task, attach what it is worth, pick the days it repeats. Sunday evening is the only setup you do.
Ask for photo proof on the ones that need it. You approve in a tap, and so can a co-parent or the nanny.
Save for goals
The boots, the trip, the thing they keep asking for. It becomes a bar they fill themselves.
You approve the goal before a single coin moves into it, and you can top it up when they get close.
Redeem rewards
Spending is where the lesson lands. They choose, you approve, the balance goes down in front of them.
Cash, M-Pesa, airtime or an extra hour of screen time. You decide what is on the menu and what it costs.

Our Story
Built by a dad who needed it to work
I'm a tech founder. I've shipped products to millions of users. But I couldn't get my son's nanny to enforce a simple rule: make your bed.
Co-parenting means you're not there for the morning routine. You're not there to check if the bed got made or if homework went into the bag. You rely on someone else to hold the line.
The nanny tried. She really did. But without a system, without something that made it clear what needed to happen, things slipped. A reminder here. A forgotten task there. No consistency.
I looked for an app. Something simple. Something the nanny could use without training. Something my son would actually want to use. I found productivity tools built for adults and baby apps that talked down to kids.
So I built Tija. Not as a business. As a tool I needed to exist. Tasks with icons a kid could understand. A coin sound when something got checked off. A wallet that showed progress toward something real.
It worked. The nanny had a system. My son had motivation. I had visibility. Other parents asked what changed. I shared it. They asked for more features. Here we are.
"Tija works because it had to. It was built to solve a real problem, not to be clever."
— Founder, Tija Kids
